Fair call, although Taupin does Reg's lyrics and don't think he bats left-handed, as it were.

I really don't see the point in bowling Pollard when you've picked four specialist bowlers plus Bravo and Gayle, and no-one's exactly got belted out of the attack.
I know he ended up with pretty decent figures in the last game but it's basically just free runs. I fail to see how he's going to be more effective than Gayle.

The medium-pacers have been really effective in this game though, so it might be worth giving the third one a trundle.
I wish Miller would give i a bit of air, the WI bowling seems so defensive when they're in such a strong position, they're slowly letting England back into this game. They should have put Mascarenhas under a lot more pressure early on and forced Strauss to play some shots (though he's doing his utmost to 'pretend' he hasn't got any).

Reckon our only chance is to hope West Indies decide to bowl Miller to Mascarenhas in the last 10. Reckon we will be all out for 210

We need Dimi to go mad in the batting powerplay, Albie Morkel style to stand a chance. Also need Strauss to bat through. So, realistically, it's not going to happen.......

Expect this to follow the usual pattern: Dimi to get out just before he can really get going leaving the likes of Broad and the tail over 10 runs an over leading to a quick collapse with Broad or someone else scoring a quick fire 25.

yeah nice one captain calamity, run out the only guy who can give us a chance.

Not sure what Dimi was doing there, watching the ball with his back to Strauss and calling when it was blatantly Strauss's call. Maybe it was a dodgy run, but he should have at least run.

Lol, what an epic balls up. England lose.

Piss about against their spinner and then the only hitter left is run out when you're needing nigh on 8 an over on an awkward pitch.
Superb.
Superb.

Yeah, it probably was Dimi's fault...but Strauss should really have sacrificed himself because he's not going to win it for us
I mean every ball to Strauss follow about 3 paths, cut for one, rubbish attempted reverse sweep which he misses or run down the pitch and drive for one

Didn't run him out TBF, Strauss called, Dimi was ball watching. Had he run, would probably have made it.
